“The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.” Psalm 37:23-24
God has given me the choice today to choose whether or not this will be a good or bad day. He already knows the outcome of this day and He knows every thought I will have and every decision I will make. So before I even step down from my bed I know I need to begin getting my mind right, and I can only do that by speaking to the One who can guide me.
Prayer: Lord I know that today I determine how well things will go by my attitude, my thoughts, and my actions. So that is why I am giving this day to You and asking You to take complete control of my heart. Lord will You take my thoughts captive and filter out any trash that might enter in. Help me be very sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading that with every idle word or action that takes place will only be a reflection of You and Your word. Lord take Your word that I have meditated on and place it within every single part of me. I commit this day to You and I praise You because I know that whatever the outcome of today is You will be there to guide me through. Amen
If I allow myself to start my day off without truly turning it over to the Lord than I am just giving Satan the opportunity to slip in and feed me garbage. But if I fill every square inch of my heart and my mind with the Word of God and prayer he has no room. And though he tries he can’t succeed because he has been defeated.
When we commit our days to the Lord first thing and allow Him to have the control then we are choosing to have a great day. We are allowing Christ the light within us to lead us, and we know when we are led by Christ all things will work out for His glory and for us.
It is really just that simple we are the ones that make it hard!
